Just for fun...how much do you spend on shaving a year/

This stems from another “hobby” of mine…wet shaving.

I figured out that I could get a good shave everyday for $2.40 a year.

I spend more than that because it’s a hobby of sorts. Actually, I probably won’t spend any more than I already have but since I have straight razors, double edged razors, hones I’ve spent more.

It’s like flashlights in way however. You spend a bit to see what you like but then you may move on to other interests but you’ve now found out what flashlights you like.

I figured that buying the basics for double edge shaving and figuring the useful life at 10 years (razors actually last much longer) that it works out to $2.40/year.

How much do you figure you spend shaving a year?

By the way, I now enjoy shaving which was certainly never the case before.

I’m not that thick bearded, but yea I never got the idea of using foam myself like some of my friends and family. Also I tend to shave at once every 2 weeks. Some months I go without saving just to grow a beard. you can save like 2-4 dollars a year. On razors that’s where they get the money back on those disposables. I’d say spend up to 20-30 bucks a year. 2 bottles of shaving cream & a pack of 8-12 disposables.

shaving hobby’s include a vast assortment of activities :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

I think we all got the same problems around here

I spend way too much money and more importantly far too much time
Shaving is a highly inefficient activity

After I got this below none, (maybe only when charging:) for one and a half years.

Just little electricity.

In 2012, I paid $66 on eBay for a Norelco AT920.

(And then a tad more in electricity.)

Somewhere between $0 and $10, depending on the year.

$8 maybe ..

This and how do you clean your ears thread are soon to become classics .

Already are, if you ask me. But you forgot the “How much do you pay your hair stylist?” thread.

I have used a razor maybe less than 10 times in all my shaving life, always have used electric razors, specially Panasonics! Love the simplicity and speed of use.

Ha! Finally a coversation where I’m the connoisseur instead of the rank novice. :slight_smile: Shaving is really an art… or at least there are many who think so. I use a Merkur Progress double edge safety razor, Personna Platinum blades, and Tea Tree Oil soap. I spend maybe $10/year on a couple of bars of soap and maybe $5-10 on blades. The razor was $70 a few years ago, but it will probably last the rest of my life.

I shave every morning in the shower with disposable Gillette Mach 3's. I'm not even sure how much it's costing me a year. Probably plenty!

hmm, maybe $1-$2, i’m full-bearded and only shave my throat and small part of my cheek. so razors and foam last very long

Or until you decide to try a straight razor, strop, hones and all that entails :slight_smile:
